C46 Material of the fan

Mo Xian was confused, but he guessed that it was a female worker from the fan shop.

"Are you the new customer?"

"His skin really is watery."

"White and flexible, I'm so envious."

They seemed to like Mo Xian a lot as they all went forward to touch her hands and pinch her face.

Mo Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't like being familiar with strangers, what was wrong with these people?

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back and rest first." With that said, they should know how to release him now.

Who knew that the female workers would come to pester him again, "But where are you not feeling well?"

"Do you want a doctor?"

"Why don't we notify Mother Su?"

Seeing Luo Niang be mentioned, Mo Xian felt a headache, she touched her forehead, "No need, it's just an old problem, I'll go back and lie down for a while."

To be honest, any female workers who touched her would give off a very strange feeling. Their skin was extremely cold, and their bodies were soft.

She shivered. The female workers finally realized that something was wrong, so one of them said, "Since that's the case, it's better for the girl to go back quickly."

Mo Xian could only wish, and quickly left.

When she was gone, the women chattered on again.

"Did you touch her just now?"

"I touched it. It felt great."

"She is a treasure. No wonder Mother Su did everything she could to keep her. "Hee hee."

After Mo Xian returned to her room, she had indeed slept. Her fever had not been for long, and her body was still rather weak. She laid on the soft bed, and not long later, she had fallen asleep.

However, her sleep was extremely unstable once again. In her dreams, it was as if there were several large snakes wrapped around her neck, their slimy and slippery skin simply impossible to grasp. She was the only one who could not find the snake head.

Mo Xian's forehead was drenched in perspiration, the snakes wrapped around her were getting tighter and tighter, causing her to turn completely red, to the point that she was almost unable to breathe. She cried out and finally came back to reality.

Through the screen window, he could see that the sky outside was completely dark. There was only the bright moon shining down from the sky. Mo Xian suddenly realised that there were a few small holes on the window screens that seemed to have been poked out by someone's finger.

She was overwhelmed with shock. Could it be that someone was secretly peeking at her? Thinking about how someone had been looking at him like that the whole night, Mo Xian felt extremely uncomfortable.

But what good would it do to peek at her? He didn't drug her either.

Mo Xian had always been weighed down with matters of the heart, so after eating breakfast, she directly went to find Qi Huaizhao.

The man was sitting in the room looking at something, holding a piece of yellowed paper. Sometimes, Mo Xian felt that he was like a piece of jade.

Seeing her, Qi Huaizhao raised his eyes, looked at the paper in his hand, and then indicated that she should come over to take a look.

Mo Xian did not bother with pleasantries and walked in and sat beside him.

"What is this?"

"A map of the embroidery workshop."

Mo Xian was surprised: "How did you get hold of it?"

Qi Huaizhao's brows moved: "I asked casually, and they gave it to me."

Mo Xian:... Beauty is a good weapon.

"Then let's go out for a walk today?" Qi Huaizhao did not know what Mo Xian was trying to do, nor was it possible for her to tell him about her system. She could only say some reasons to prevent him from becoming suspicious.

"That's fine. There's nothing left to do." Fortunately, he agreed.

Mo Xian suddenly thought of something, "Oh yes, someone seems to be peeping in my room. There are a lot of small holes on the window screen."

She subconsciously looked around Qi Huaizhao's room, but there were no holes. This was truly strange, why was it only hers?

"Have you noticed anything amiss?" Qi Huaizhao asked after pondering for a moment.

Mo Xian shook his head: "I slept soundly last night, and had a nightmare. When I woke up, I didn't see anyone, only those small holes that leaked light."

"Be more alert tonight, I'll go to your room to take a look."

Mo Xian was surprised, he actually wanted to do this?

But Mo Xian did not say it out loud, and the topic continued to shift.

The two sat for a while, then followed Mo Xian's instructions and went out to take a look.

The embroidery workshop was very big. The two of them had already experienced it when they came in yesterday, especially after visiting the huge embroidery workshop.

They all looked very ordinary, but the more ordinary something was, the greater the danger involved.

This place wasn't an ordinary space and time in the first place, Mo Xian kept telling himself in this way.

The atrium was filled with greenery, and if you went any further you would easily smell the nauseating smell.

Since they had the map today, they didn't need the maidservant s to bring it with them. However, they knew Qi Huaizhao and Mo Xian's identities.

"Qi Huaizhao, look!" Mo Xian suddenly cried out in alarm, as the former followed and looked over.

After a while, he asked in confusion, "What?"

Mo Xian squinted and looked again, only then did he realise that not far from him, there was an empty pink jacket and skirt.

But just now, she clearly saw someone hanging on it ?

She gathered her thoughts. There must be something at work here. She couldn't possibly have seen wrongly!

"It's nothing. Maybe I made a mistake." Since he could not prove it now, Mo Xian would not tell Qi Huaizhao about it.

The two continued to walk around the embroidery workshop and saw a sign not too far away that was hung outside. There was a layer of cloth wrapped around the wooden sign that seemed to be made of some unknown material, and it was very exquisite.

"Go in and take a look?"

Qi Huaizhao nodded and took the lead.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a faint scent of blood, but it was covered by a strong fragrance. In just a moment, she could no longer smell it.

She asked Qi Huaizhao in a low voice: "Did you smell anything just now?"

Qi Huaizhao shook his head calmly.

Mo Xian thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so he gave up temporarily.

The fan shop was more relaxed than she had imagined, and the women greeted them with great enthusiasm. Especially those who saw Mo Xian yesterday evening, they even stopped what they were doing and went to chat with her.

Mo Xian thought, luckily he was not a man either, if not he would really be at a disadvantage. Qi Huaizhao looked like a stranger that did not want to get close, so no one dared to pester him.

"Alright, let's take a look over here." The man suddenly grabbed Mo Xian's neck and saved her from the clutches of the group of people.

Mo Xian threw him a grateful look.

Qi Huaizhao's line of sight landed on the long table with the embroidery needles, he then picked up something and placed it under his nose. Following that, his eyes became gloomy and his voice became somewhat terrifying. "It's human blood."

Mo Xian was shocked, "Human blood?" But then he thought again, "Could the women have accidentally pricked the blood on their fingers while they were making the fans?"

Qi Huaizhao was noncommittal, he continued to look around, but unexpectedly, he actually found a small piece of meat, a very thin thing.

Mo Xian frowned: "What is this?"

Qi Huaizhao shook his head. "I don't know."

Mo Xian decided to keep the things that Qi Huaizhao found in her storage room.

One of the female workers looked like the manager of the place, upon seeing Qi Huaizhao and Mo Xian, she went forward to welcome them: "young master Qi, Lady Mo wishes to visit our fan workshop? "I don't mind telling you, let me show you around."

Without waiting for their agreement, the person who called himself Madam Chu had already led the way and introduced them one by one.

That's right, this is the fan surface that we produced last night. It is especially exquisite.

Mrs Chu held her fan, and directly waved it towards Qi Huaizhao and Mo Xian.

Mo Xian felt a burst of coldness, a bone-chilling sensation, what was wrong with this fan?

"May I have a look?" Mo Xian said. She wanted to see what the material was made of to actually look so gloomy and terrifying.

Mrs Chu nodded. "Sure." He then handed it over to her.

Mo Xian received it. The fan was a very ordinary looking one, with a pitch-black handle and a round face. Only, the other fans had flowers embroidered on their surfaces, while this one had a peony embroidered in the color of flesh.

Mo Xian suddenly thought of the item that he kept into the warehouse. It was similar to the material of the fan, could it be that...

She reached out and touched it. The fan was smooth and delicate, reminiscent of a baby's tender skin.

She was shocked by the thought in her heart, but quickly retracted her hand, gesturing to Qi Huaizhao, asking him if he wanted to watch.

Qi Huaizhao shook her head, and she passed it back to Mistress Chu.

That smooth and exquisite touch kept on lingering in Mo Xian's mind.

After visiting the huge embroidery room, Mo Xian felt that only that small incident was worth the attention.

As he was thinking about this, he didn't notice that the surrounding female workers had surrounded him again. They were all fighting to be the first to caress her hands, causing Mo Xian to jump in fright. She could not see the fervor in the eyes of these people, but it was definitely abnormal.

"Qi Huaizhao!" She subconsciously reached out to grab the man's sleeve. His footsteps paused slightly, as if he was waiting for Mo Xian.

He finally got out of the fan shop with great difficulty.

"Does it have to look fiercer?" Mo Xian looked at the shocked Qi Huaizhao and muttered softly.

"No matter how fierce they are, they will still get close to you."

Mo Xian was shocked, he actually heard it.

"I just saw the look in their eyes. It seems like they want something from you."

Mo Xian wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. What could she have for them, that they were poor and not beautiful enough, and that she was a girl like them. If they wanted to, they should go and harass Qi Huaizhao!

The two of them walked around the courtyard once more, but didn't find anything, so they went back to their respective rooms.

The dinner in the evening was also finished separately. Mo Xian suddenly thought of something, Qi Huaizhao said that he would come to his room tonight, but there were so many other people in the Southern Academy, how could he sneak in? The best course of action was to rush in as soon as possible.

After thinking of a temporary countermeasure, Mo Xian felt slightly more at ease.

In just a short period of time, the female workers of the fan shop had already returned to the southern courtyard.

"Knock, knock, knock." Someone was knocking on Mo Xian's door.
